THE following editorial from the Evansville
Courier of Sunday shows that the world edo
move" The idea of an Indiana Democratic
paper, especially of the standing of the Cour-
Ter. advocating the strict enforcement of the
law for the regulation of saloons is refreshing.
The Courier says:
"At the conference between the citizens
committee and the Board Of Police Commits
sioners, held last evening. the best of feeling
was preserved by both sides of the contro-
versy. if the execution OF law can properly
be- characterized as a question of ontroversy.
''The saloon keepers of Evansville are, for
the most part. a respectable body of citizens,
and they may be assured that there was no
disposition on the part of the committee to
reflect upon them their class.

THE WEST DOESN'T WANT CLEVELAND.

James T. Voorhees, Tells Why-A Western
Man Wanted Next Time.
New York Sun.
Mr. James p Voorhees,. son of Senator voor.
hees OF Indiana is in the city and living for the
present at the Hoffman House He talked with
a reporter yesterday about interview with
HIM which printed recently in the Detroit
Evening News in which he denounced President
Cleveland's administration. and expressed the
belief that Cleveland was not the choice of
Western Democrats for denomination. On this
last point Mr.. Voorhees, said:
~ do not think. from my recent experience
in the West from my talks with leading Western
Democrats, and from my own personal convic-
ton, that Cleveland will be nominated by the
next Democratic convention. 1t Is the opinion
of Western Democrats that the next President
should he Western man. Democrats in the
West do not take stock IN the assumed theory
that only New York plan can carry the State
of New York. Certainly Mr.. Cleveand's expe-
rence at the last Presidential election is not of
a character to warrant the belief that he is GER
tain to carry the Empire State. 1t is felt in the
West that there has been too much one. sided
moss in the selection of presidential candidates,
and that the law of political equilibrium de-
mands that little more weight should be put
into the Western side OF the scale.
THE interview with me published in the De-
troit Evening News not long ago expresses the
sentiments of many Western Democrats toward
Mr. Cleveland 10 that interview. in response
to the question What docs your father think of
Mr.. ClevelandP | replied NV father never
traded friends sold foes. Mr.. Cleveland's
LOYALTY to his Democratic friends that is to
the stanch and tried friends of the Democrat
party and to Democratic principles. is regarded
in the West not above suspicion. Western
Democrats like staiwart adherence to the
Democratic principles for which the party has
so long contended, and are not satisfied with
civil-serylce reform can't in lieu thereof. Mr.
Cleveland has sacrificed my brother. Blood is
thicker than water. | will sacrifice him jGleye-
land) if can. Mr.. Cleveland will not get the
next nomination if l can ehelp il. Both
for the reasons mentioned in this inter
view and those to come I stick to
every word / said in the interview in
the Detroit Evening News. There has been no
repud iation of that interview in any quarter
1t reflects my own views and the views of others

pect to be denounced for this one; but. as Sena
tor Jones said to me in discussing his troubles.
